'Fringe' picked up for a third season

EW has learned exclusively that Fox has picked up Fringe for a third season. Though the show isn’t exactly blowing the roof off of Nielsen — it’s been averaging just 7.6 million viewers and is ranked No. 50 in the all-important adults 18-49 demographic this season — it managed to survive in a tough new time period on Thursdays.

NBC has renewed the rest of its Thursday comedies for next season -- "The Office," "Community" and "30 Rock." The network previously picked up "Parks & Recreation."

“We are happy to give these early pickups to these critically acclaimed, incredibly funny comedies,” said NBC entertainment president Angela Bromstad. (källa)

HBO greenlights 'Game of Thrones' to series

HBO has greenlighted highly anticipated fantasy series "Game of Thrones." The premium network has picked up the project for a first season debut next spring. Nine episodes plus the pilot have been ordered. Production will begin in Belfast this June.

From the moment the project was first announced in development, the series based on the George R.R. Martin novels has generated enormous, perhaps unprecedented, online interest for a series at such an early stage. The sprawling tale set in the mythical land of Westeros tells the story of the noble Stark family who become caught up in high court intrigue when patriarch Eddard (played by Sean Bean) becomes the king's new right-hand man. The four-and-counting books in the series would each be used as one season of the series.

Intresset för att ta kompletta, svenska tv-kanaler till nätet är stendött, trots att regeringen vid årsskiftet undanröjde lagarna som skulle göra detta till ett hårt slag mot företag.
